The $200k is in revenue, so subtract cost of goods and operating/overhead expenses and the rest gets taxed. I'd guess anywhere from 2/3ths to 1/3 of it gets taxed depending on her margins.

Legitimately, that's not all profit right? Like just because something sells for $10 doesn't mean they get $10.

Just decided to do a cursory google on a 2.5 inch charm double sided different images and a run of them comes out to roughly $2.50 a piece. So 979 charms at $12 each is down to $9.50 each, or $9,300.50.

I'm not saying she's not doing great, but there are a ton of middle men taking cuts of that as well. She's definitely better off without them then she was with them. Yes, the hype will die down as well, but she's coming out swinging hard while it's fresh and raking it in.

At the very least we have hard numbers on the limited merch, because it was two sets of 100. Plus the fact that it was whales who were willing to drop $130 dollars on merch to the point of it selling out in literal minutes, I would not be surprised if she won't break the 200k barrier by the end of the month from hundreds of other people buying smaller 30-50 bundles of varying merch.

Of course she doesn't get to keep 100% of the money as plenty goes into shipping and the store and all kinds of different overheads, but there's no doubt she's on a fast-track to make more money this year than her entire tenure at Nijisanji combined and doubled.

[Anonymous No.]

>>68732912
Alright I'll spoonfeed you because all this pussyfooting around as though interns don't know shit after two years is asinine.
Most shopping cart code doesn't actually make provisions for autistic numberfags, so they are honest with their stock.
That means that when the store comes up, what people do is that they enter a very large number, pretending they want to buy 900K, and the shop says 'oh, sorry, I don't have that many, I only have 10,000!'
Then after that repeating that gives you 'oh, sorry, I don't have that many, I only have 9000!'
And then you subtract the numbers, and you know exactly how many were sold since opening.

[Anonymous No.]

>>68733061

They haven't renewed their contracts for 2024, so there's no reason for her to hold out to 2025. Likewise, Mumei isn't going to get a major boost like Doki by just walking out the door. Cover is going to be absolutely all over her ass if she tries to pull the same shit Doki is, defaming the company talking about the endlessly, and taking all her stuff from her Niji name like Dragoons and her oshi mark with her. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if Niji's lawyers are writing the paperwork out right now to sue the shit out of Doki for "loss of face." which is apparently a BS thing Japan can sue for even if what they say is true.

A temporary burst of people giving her money does not mean it's a trend that will continue throughout the year. We can literally see everyone else as examples of this; major jumps during their first monetization stream, a merch drop that sells out / sells well, and then relatively low, by the bursts standards, the rest of the streams.

Hell, we don't even have to look at other streams to see this. We can look at Doki herself. Day 1 monetization - $19,438. Day 2 - $8,992. It will continue to taper and settle over the coming month.

I'm sure she WILL make more as an indie though, because she's a big name thanks to Niji. Like it or not, Niji is what put her on the map. She had sub 5k subs on her channel before joining Niji.

You sound like the person that thinks that a kickstarter creator gets all their money but doesn't. Store cut or transaction fees, taxes and the production of said merch will if you are lucky get you half of that as profit if you really cheap out on production. I know a couple of friends who got like 20-30% on their books in profit after trial and error on the kickstarter front.

>but you're just ass pulling numbers
She's gotten a confirmed 27k from the bundles, plus another 28k from supas by your own measures. I should have cut that number by 30% and that's absolutely my bad, but I'm also working for your sake btw on her explicitly having zero (as in 0) merch sales outside of the bundle because nobody can actually prove that she's sold a single thing outside of it unless said otherwise. Even though we both know her bank account will be getting fatter from more than literally just supas.
As for the 5% of her top supas, that is a number I just pulled from my ass but looking quickly through her life as Selen you can see she made 3,571 on her supa opening stream and almost 2k on members. Skimming through her entire streaming history I'm seeing in the realm of 100-300 dollars per stream, with several outliers of 1k+ and several outliers with only 12 bucks, so the 5% of her peak being the standard 6+ months post-debut has gone from an ass-pull to an accurate estimate based on her own proof. If you don't believe me you can check Playboard.

So once more for good measure: she's still on the fast-track to making more money in this year than her entire tenure at Nijisanji combined and doubled.

Cover unironically offers value to their talents outside of exposure. They actually collaborate and support their talents with things like a 3D studio, they set up unique individual merch deals, they use industry connections to put them in contact with reputable artists, animators, etc. They are all paid well and treated kindly.
I genuinely believe the rrat that Sora is actually Yagoo's daughter and that's why all the talents are treated so well because Yagoo sees them as his own children. Based off the stories that the Holos have said, like Yagoo being in tears when Miko told him she was thinking of leaving, I think it's true.

Brought what up? Cover doesn't have a reputation of fucking over their talents. Even Rushia was dealt with very amicably despite what she did. Niji is being decimated because it's all the residual resentment people have built up over the years. Cover doesn't have any.

My understanding was the she spent the 200k, but not necessarily all were even related to her job. Like commissioning skebs of other characters, so only a portion of those could be counted for reimbursement.

I'm sure that the company should've reimbursed more, but can't expect them to finance every single project, just like for Marine.

Marine said Unison cost her 8 digits in yen (this includes everything, not just animation, mind you) - that's a minimum of 10,000,000 Yen or around $67K with current exchange rate.
Set Sail cost her 4 times that, so that's already a minimum of $268K
She spent around half of Set Sail on I'm Your Treasure Box, that makes it around $134K
Just dropping some numbers (again, those were all minimum assumptions. It could've been higher since 8 digits figure might go from 10M to 99.99M yen)

They could, but it depends what they want out of it. Yeah they could just leave, but Doki is still riding the drama train. I think she will still do great, unless something wild comes out against her, But once the drama calms down her numbers will probably normalize. I still think she will do better than she did in NIJI. Not all Chuba's will get the treatment, Look at Sayu. That said, even taking a big hit from leaving a company, it will still be worth it cause you don't have the corp to share profits with.
That being said, In these vtuber corps, especially Hololive, it is more than just streaming and making money. The next level stuff like Original content/songs, and the concerts they hold take it to another level. You walk away from all that if you leave Holo.

These two were successful before and would still be after leaving Hololive.

Let's be real here. Selen wouldn't have all the support and connections if she never joined Nijisanji. Doki only had 10k subs. She suffered much, but left stronger.
If she joins another corpo, it would be for sustainability and letting them do the behind-the-scenes work. But she seems willing to do it herself. She doesn't need a corpo, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't want them to do the grunt work with more added opportunities.

If it's 200k Canadian, I do make more than that but I'm a senior software engineer at a startup in the SF Bay Area and it's only slightly higher, not counting my stock compensation because it might not be worth anything unless we go public. If I was at FAANG, I could outrank her earnings in the same position or even higher, in the realm of 250-275k. But that is total compensation. Cash earnings, it will only ever be around 175-200k USD but yes, you can only about match that in other fields.

Total compensation or liquid cash pay? That seems low but I am also not that surprised given the layoffs that have happened this year and the move to profitability that compensation is dropping.

98% is way too much for just merch, we're not talking about being a Chinese Android smartphone maker here. Even if Nijisanji makes 10% on a product, 1-3% of that is still criminal.

You might be speaking in jest but I don't know so I will bring things back to earth.

I think people are imagining a real fuckin shoestring agency when they pitch stuff like that. At its baseline, a vtuber agency costs $0, they function on platforms they do not have to establish or pay into upfront, and if every member is a talent, they basically could just function as a collection of self-funded agents in this dream world where every member is a graduated talent from some other agency that would have the capital to get their own model/equipment and basically be self-sufficient.
The only initial purpose such an agency would serve is a collective banner to market under/collaborate with, and it could conceivably grow from there to serve greater purpose and recruit fresh talent once they build up some funds. This obviously requires a lot of drive and time investment from whoever makes it in the first place, be it one person 'in charge' or a group. I do not imagine Doki has that drive or ambition.

I'd agree, I just imagine it's people using the term talent agency inappropriately.

I love how reliably "literally" is followed by something that is most likely not true. There is magic in that word.

Unless they literally try to kth and burn the branch as they go, it is highly unlikely any Holo will make more as an indie.

How can you be so easily baited by an obvious scizo? She literally thanked holo last stream and called it a great gig.

Yeah yeah yeah, she's successful outside the 2% yacht. Already heard that a million times. Now can we move on to something else... like streams and stuff? Didn't she said she's gonna play NeoPets or something?

Why would that happen?

Agreed, Doki making bank is not flexing.
Flexing is telling the world that her fans are called "dragoons"; and also saying that while the default color is yellow, her dragoons can optionally be any color

Falseflagging Chinese that's been harassing her before she left. Do you honestly believe they stopped after leaving Holo?
Talk about Coco anywhere and the Chinese come saying the strangest things. She's a whore. She was terminated from Hololive. Holofans hate her.
List the reasons why they would hate her and it's pure nonsense. How gullible can you be?

If they enjoyed being in hololive they would actually stream, so by this logic, only half of them do.
